MENOMINEE, Mich. (WLUC) - The future Freedom-variant littoral combat
ship USS Marinette (LCS 25) will join the active fleet in September with
a commissioning ceremony in Menominee,

LCS 25 will be the newest littoral combat ship to join the Surface
Force. It is the first naval warship named after Marinette, Wisconsin
and the third naval vessel named for the community.

According to a press release from the Navy, the naming recognizes the
contribution of its namesake town and the great shipbuilders who bring
these ships to life, ensuring they are ready to accomplish mission
tasking in support of our nation’s maritime strategy.

Naval vessel Marinette (YTB 791) was laid down by the Marinette Marine
Corp., Marinette, Wisconsin, Sept. 8, 1966; launched April 10, 1967; and
placed in service July 3, 1967.

A large harbor tug, Marinette was known as a workhorse and performed
tugging services for the 5th Naval District, headquartered at Norfolk,
Virginia into 1969.

An additional naval vessel, the warship Marinette County (LST 953), was
previously named for the surrounding community. The ship was laid down
Sept. 15, 1944, by Bethlehem Steel Co., Hingham, Massachusetts; launched
Oct. 15; commissioned Nov. 7, and was decommissioned Nov. 12, 1946 in
Beaumont, Texas. Supporting Marines during World War II, LST 953
received one battle star for its service.

Following commissioning on Sept. 16, USS Marinette will transit to its
homeport of Mayport, Florida.
